'The View' host Barbara Walters is snapped leaving her apartment in New York City with what looks to be a chaperone of some sort holding her bags for her and another younger assistant. One photographer asks her about her co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck leaving the show as they sort their bags out.

'The View' makes stars, and we wish Elizabeth well. I'm very fond of her', she replies, before being asked who could be her replacement. 'Maybe you!', she tells the photographer with a smile, who laughs at the suggestion and thanks her as she walks off up the sidewalk.
